About
Kyliee Strong was inspired by a seven year old warrior named Kyliee La’Cynthia Wesby who lost her battle to sickle cell in June of 2022. We’re working hard to spread awareness for our cause, offer programs and services to our community, fund innovative initiatives and advocate for change.
“From the very beginning, our focus has been on making sure no child has to go through the pain kyliee suffered and to not only have what they need to live but also thrive and find new opportunities for health and happiness.”

About 1 in 13 Black or African-American babies is born with sickle cell trait, our founder realized that increased awareness and access to community programs and services could drastically change lives.
